HireDB was conceived and engineered to dramatically reduce the time required to source qualified prospective applicant for the recruiting industry. Combining a database of 120 Million professional profiles with real-time search feedback and an "all you can eat" approach to searching for the most appropriate candidates, HireDB strives to be the utility the recruiting and Human Resources market needs to cost effectively get job fill started.
The primary challenges faced in building the solution was several-fold. First we had to define a very high availability, performant and scalable technology stack to store the 120MM+ profiles critical to our recruiter and Human Resource clients.
Second, the tech-stack had to deliver as near instantaneous results as possible. The vision was for our client to input broad search parameters and refine results repeatedly and incessantly pulling hits from the results as they required. We wanted to eliminate the "Submit" button and make every choice/selections options instantly return results and allow clients one-click option to place ideal results on their results list.
On top of all this, as a company we are deeply committed to Open Source technology and wanted to ensure we invested in tools that reflected our belief in the Open Source community.
Our final solution uses Wordpress for the public face of the website, ElasticSearch for a Flexible and powerful faceted Search engine that is hosted with appbase.io. Our frontend app is built with ReactiveSearch UI components.
Instrumental to cost effectively delivering the envisioned solution was Appbase.io. Their team immediately understood the challenge, reflected our commitment to Open Source technology and worked with our development teams to ensure smooth execution. They were and still are a very important extension of our internal team supporting both our infrastructure and technological evolution,
The Result of this joint effort is an extraordinarily fast, responsive multifaceted search tools that delivers results in milliseconds. Beta tests to date are proving the value of the data when recruiting and HR professionals are giving unbridled access to a large, up to date resource of qualified candidates.
We are just starting to explore how a strategy of continuous evolution, laser focused on delivering results faster and more accurately for the HR community will dramatically improve the time consuming and often labor intensive chore of candidate sourcing.
In partnership with Appbase.io, we have little doubt the future looks extremely bright.
